Introduction
The Fundamental Design Build Initiative (created by Taller KEN) invites 10 early career architects and designers from around the world to further develop their approach to design and experiment at the intersection of design, social space, and landscape during the three month period in San Jose, Costa Rica. The Fundamental initiative aims to exposes young architects from all around the world to all aspects of a built work of design -- from site analysis through brainstorming, fundraising, project management, sourcing materials, pre-fabrication, onsite construction, all the way to preparing materials for publication. Participants will be chosen through a competitive selection process and are invited to attend and participate, at no cost to themselves, except for travel and per diem expenses. Accommodations are provided in the cultural center of downtown San Jose, Costa Rica.
